Dance with us on International Dance Day in the rhythm of staccato. In the 5Rhythms map, staccato draws from the element of fire, connecting us with the power of our innate passions. When we unite our hearts with this percussive rhythm, we reawaken our life force, the energy that animates all living creatures.

In this time of sheltering-in-place in California, and all over the world, we invite you to tend and stoke our inner fire. What passions are calling you now? What do you want to create at the edge of your comfort zone? What is forming in the embers?

"I believe we each hold a spark of the original light of creation within us. I've seen it light up people's faces and bodies when they dance.” —Gabrielle Roth, “Sweat Your Prayers”
